Guidelines for Haulaway Transport:
• Strap/Soft tie securement only on these models.
Guidelines for Rail Transport:
• Loading is restricted to Bi-level railcars.
• Units must be positioned 3” between bumpers and 5” between bumper and end
door to allow for a load factor of 6 per deck and to maintain adequate spacing.
This is very critical, as there is no room for error.
• Vehicles are to be uniformly positioned on decks (A = 6, B = 6) to maximize
the distance between vehicles and between vehicles and end doors.
• Supplemental and AVR chocks are NOT to be used on the front of Renegade models due to clearance of less than 2”.
• Front and rear chocks should be placed in the high setting.
• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted clearance between door and side panel.
• SLOW speed is essential when loading and unloading if damage is to be avoided due to the tight spacing requirements
between the vehicles
and between the vehicles and end doors on the railcar.
This form outlines the mandatory handling, loading and securing standards for safety and damage free handling when transporting these vehicles by

Ocean Handling, Loading, and Securement Standards for Shipping the
Jeep Gladiator
Wheel lash in rearWheel lash in front
Vehicle Shipping ManualJanuary 2019, Version 8
Guidelines for Haulaway Transport:
• Strap/Soft tie securement only on these models.
• SLOW speed is essential because this is a low profile model.
Guidelines for Rail Transport:
• Loading is restricted to Tri-level railcars, unless authorization is given by FCA US /
Mexico Logistics to load on Bi-level’s. If loading on a Bi-level the front chock height
should be set in the low position and the rear chock in the high position to maintain two
inches of clearance between the chock and the closest point on the vehicle.
• Vehicles are to be uniformly positioned on decks (A = 6, B = 7, C = 7) to maximize
the distance between vehicles and between vehicles and end doors.
• A minimum of 3” is required between vehicles and 5” between vehicle end doors.
• A minimum 3” roof clearance must be maintained.
• Position the vehicle on Tri-levels with tires no closer to the tie-down rail than half an
inch (½”). Optimal spacing is 1-2”, no further than 3”.
• Spotter is required on A-Deck and B-deck when the chock tie-down track is on right side of vehicle
to assist/guide driver to position vehicle for proper securement application and prevent
vehicles tire/rims from contact/rubbing against chock tie-down track.
• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted
clearance between door and side panel.
• SLOW speed is essential when loading and unloading if damage is to be avoided to
undercarriage/front fascia as this is a low clearance vehicle.
Special Cautionary Notes:
• There is a notably tight clearance between securement devices and the unit.
• The tire width to unload through a railcar and over the bridge plates is very tight. See above picture for reference. Also, due to the width of
the tires, on some older Tri-level railcars the unit can rub up against the inner chock rail causing possible tire damage. Please be aware of this
while loading and unloading.

Vehicle Shipping ManualJanuary 2019, Version 8
Guidelines for Haulaway Transport:
• Strap/Soft tie securement only.
• Make sure all decks are as level as possible to prevent rocker panel and / or front
fascia damage.
• Properly set skid position to prevent front fascia damage.
• SLOW speed is essential because this is a low profile model.
Guidelines for Rail Transport:
• Loading is restricted to Bi-level railcars.
• A minimum of 3” roof clearance must be maintained.
• Units must be positioned 3” bumper to bumper and 5” between bumper
and end door to allow for a load factor of 6 / deck and to maintain
adequate spacing. This is very critical, as there is no room for error.
• Front and rear chocks must be placed in the high setting.
• All chocks must be carefully positioned from the side of the vehicle, never
from the front (see photo).
• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted
clearance between door and side panel.
• Do not exceed 5 mph / 8 kmh speed limit when loading and unloading and utilize
caution inside the railcar to avoid damage.
This form outlines the mandatory handling, loading and securing standards for safety and damage free handling when transporting these
vehicles by rail or truck. There is a HIGH potential for vehicle damage if this Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Loading and Securing is
not followed.

end doors.
• A minimum of 3” roof clearances must be maintained.
• Front and rear chocks should be placed in the high setting.
• Exercise caution when entering or exiting the driver’s door on rail due to restricted clearance between door and side panel.
• SLOW speed is essential when loading and unloading if damage is to be avoided due to the size of the vehicle.
Chocks:
• All units must be secured using a 6-point chocking system.
• Additional chocks should be placed on the inboard side of both the front and rear tire on the same side of the vehicle,
alternating sides
throughout the railcar.
• When railcars are equipped with supplemental block chocks they should be placed on the inboard side of the remaining two
wheels
• All supplemental block chocks should be placed between 1” and 3” away from the tire.
